Performance and AI capabilities
GMKtec claims the EVO-T2 will deliver up to 180 TOPS of AI compute performance, and should come preloaded with Intel’s AI PC software stack, indicating a clear focus on AI tools and workloads.
Externally, the EVO-T2 maintains a similar aesthetic to the EVO-T1 with a front panel that includes three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The storage setup consists of a PCIe 5.0 drive bay and a PCIe 4.0 bay.
Compared with the EVO-T1, which shipped with the Core Ultra 9 285H, 64 GB of DDR5 RAM, and three M.2 slots, the EVO-T2 represents a notable hardware upgrade.
